A Day to Study

Greetings from Phnom Penh!

It's Monday here and David and I have taken advantage of a day to study and prepare for the conference which will begin in the morning. As I have said before, we are very excited about this conference as we will be teaching a survey course on the book of Acts entitled "Mission Principles". This will be our first time through this course, so we are anxious to see how it will communicate in this culture.

We have recovered from the flights and are feeling well as we head into this week of teaching. Please be in prayer as the conference begins in the morning (Tuesday for us, Monday night for you). We will leave the hotel at 7:30 each morning and head to the Cambodian Baptist Convention building for the conference. We are 12 hours ahead of Central Standard Time so that should make it easy for you to pray for us.

We have received some exciting news since we arrived in Cambodia, our good friend Jason will be coming to see us this week. Jason and his family serve in a large Asian country just to the north of us (which we are not able to name online). Jason will be arriving in Phnom Penh on Tuesday evening and will spend the week with us before returning home on Saturday. David and I haven't seen Jason for about 2 years, so we are really looking forward to this time together.

We will write again tomorrow afternoon and let you know how the first day of the conference went. We will also try and post some pictures...
